Using the wrong function, or providing the wrong arguments. From the
arguments you're giving mktime, I suspect you actually want date(),
which would yield a string in the format 'YYYMMDD'. However, if you
really want to use mktime, you should be be using it as follows:
int mktime ( [int $hour], [int $minute], [int $second], [int $month],
[int $day], [int $year], [int $is_dst] )
Please read the manual entries for the functions you're using before
posting to the list.
